Abstract

More and more archival administrators are turning to the private sector, seeking funds to supplement their budgets. This article analyzes a program that has been successful in raising a significant endowment over a relatively short period. It builds on that analysis to describe fundamental development practices as they apply in an archival setting. If you believe in the importance and value of what you do, and can verbalize those feelings and your excitement about your work and repository, you can be a successful fund-raiser.
